            Thank you everyone, it's nice to use a tablet once in a while.

            take care

                  Great work!

                  I would love to know more about how these were produced. When you say they are hand tinted (digitally) I have no idea what you mean.

                  Would be great to learn some more.

                    Hello Brett, the images are tinted/painted using a Wacom Tablet as opposed to a finished render output from V-ray/Thea ect. I have a nice way of producing watercolour outputs but doubt I'll have time to produce any before I have to go back. Watercolour is like Marmite but IMHO they are better than
                    those ^^^.

                      These are so great. I feel like I am reading a children's story book, an expensive one. One where the children frolic off and meet a friendly giant and they all eat cake.

                        I think a little more clarification other than you use a Wacom Tablet is needed. For example: what software is used to create the watercolor effect? The results you have provided are so outstanding that, unless you feel it is a proprietary workflow, more "tutorial-like" information would be truly appreciated.

                        Other than Marmite being a British/New Zealand food product, I have no idea what this means!

                          These are so nice, John. I really like the garden wall and the storage building.

                          So there's no bump? That is you just exported a SketchUp image and created the magic in PS or another SW?

                            Hello everyone,

                            lol I can see it now Eric in Wonderland...

                            @ Peter & Bob, the images are painted in Photoshop (Gimp or any other) using a tablet and pen, you could use a mouse but without the pressure control ect, a £20 tablet would do. In Photoshop you can add whatever maps/overlays you choose or prefer, making your own is a simple process. In a render engine bump maps don't necessarily have to go with it's associated diffuse map, mix n match so long as the sizes match plus you can render only the part of the model that is needed. Experiment/play around you can't spoil anything.

                            John

                                Hello Bob,

                                I'm not sure i could or have the inclination to explain the process to produce these, it's just one of several techniques I use which I've evolved over the years and can become long winded.

                                There is a topic started by Bryan in the Corner Bar with a few of the replies seemingly implying that modern render engines are so advanced you can just bang a model in, push the button and Bob's ur uncle (sorry). Wish I'd purchased one of those and saved myself hundreds of hours practising.

                                I've seen a few lads walk on site with a bag full of gleaming top of the range power tools, yet they would never make a Joiner (carpenter) as long as they had a hole in their arse.

                                take care
                                John

                                  Technical detail 😄
                                  What is the original size of the paint?
                                  Painting is made at zoom 1/1 or more-less ?
                                  Have you try Affinity Photo ?

                                    Hello Pilou, All the images are produced at ~ 7500 x 5000 ppi then reduced down as required, this gives a great deal of scope for printing.

                                    Affinity looks a good alternative to PS and the price looks fantastic. I have a subscription for PS and feel comfortable with it ATM...

                                            There is no doubt that the number of good render programs has grown but that will never remove the need to learn how to use the product. On top of this there are more and more tutorials out there to help people learn the methods required. NOTHING can assist a lazy user and this is ably demonstrated by the fantastic renders seen on line. What you do is to enthuse and encourage others to follow and learn, something that is priceless. Many thanks John.
